Police responded to the 1400 block of Goddard Court for shots fired at 11:34 p.m. Officers arrived and found several cars with bullet holes in the 1200 block of 15th Street.

"I heard a couple pops and then all of a sudden we see the light and stuff outside," said witness Brenda Zapata.

Witnesses said they heard around a dozen shots fired.

Broken window glass is still scattered all over the street and sidewalks. The back windows were shot out of a car, another bullet hit the front of a car parked in a driveway and a stray bullet hit the front of a house.

While police were there investigating, officers said an SUV drove up, driving fast and erratically.

"We saw the cops come and kind of parked to the side and then this SUV came and then next thing you know you just hear pop, pop, pop, pop," said Duey Le, a witness.

"He revs the engine, puts the car in gear and drives toward officers who were on the street in front of the vehicle," said police spokesman Sgt. Jason Halifax.

Police said the driver didn't follow the officer's commands to stop or slow down, and instead accelerated. That's when three officers fired at the vehicle, according to police.

"They just started shooting at the SUV and then the SUV just took off down University," said Le.

Police said the driver has been identified as Shawntee Deiyane Young, 30, of Des Moines.

The officers who fired at the vehicle were Sgt. Chad Nicolino, Senior Police Officer Andrew Becker and Officer Seth Arganbright. Police said Nicolino is a 15 year veteran of the department, Becker is a 4 year veteran and Arganbright is in his first year as an officer.

"Officers were on the street. They were in uniform, had guns drawn, pointed at the vehicle, giving orders to the driver. The driver was not compliant and accelerated towards the officers who were on foot. That is when they fired at him," said Sgt. Jason Halifax, Des Moines police spokesman.

The vehicle continued to 1108 17th Street where police found Young inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. He was taken to Mercy Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition Friday morning.
